A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Drama / 3w
Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini
They are the coolest, fiercest, most super talented girl band ever assembled: Big Sis and Little Sis are waiting for the third member of their trio to arrive. Little Miss is on her way. It just takes her a little bit longer.
At thirteen, Little Miss is given a gift which cannot be returned. She has to share her body and life with it. And she needs to find a way for the two of them to get along as they can’t both be Player One. Little Miss Burden explores rewriting your narrative and embracing your identity on your own terms.
Little Miss Burden was first performed at the Bunker Theatre, on 4th December 2019.
BIG SIS – female, black, eldest sibling LITTLE MISS (L.M) – female, black, physical impairment or wheelchair user, middle sibling LIL’ SIS – female, black, youngest sibling
